Jobs in the wool sector have great payoffs
High income – beat that loan!
If you’re fast and good, you earn good money shearing and
wool handling. For example, lots of professional shearers in New
Zealand earn $50,000 in a year. Even over a 3 month summer season
a keen young shearer can earn over $10,000. That’s certainly
going to make a hole in a study loan!

It’s good, shearing. I work hard, like the work, and get
good pay. Suits me!
|
Travel the world – and get paid
Kiwi workers have a great reputation internationally, and shearers
and wool handlers from New Zealand are in high demand. Many Kiwi
shearers travel to jobs in Australia, Britain, United States, France
and Italy on a regular basis. You can see the world and make
money. Best of all, you’re earning overseas currency that means
a lot in New Zealand dollars.

I reckon I’m on to a good thing. I’ve
started work with people I know, near home, but this job’s
going to take me around the world
|
Gain that competitive edge
Competition shearing has a proud record in this country. The shearers
and wool handlers in our national team are some of the best in the
world. Competing at all levels is a challenge that pays dividends:
you learn focus and discipline – rewards that stay with you.

Associate with the best, set your goals, never give up and you
will be a winner – David Fagan, a recognised champion shearer,
